Ilford Multigrade FB Cooltone Glossy 9.5 x 12 inch 10 Vel

The contrast range on these sheets is fantastic, and the cool tone gives my prints a crisp, almost metallic look that really makes highlights pop. Exposure times were noticeably shorter than the fiber paper I used before, which was a pleasant surprise.

I was really struck by how deep and rich the blacks came out on this paper, with none of that greyish haze some papers have. The cool image tone was exactly what I wanted for my architectural work, and the exposure times felt noticeably shorter than my usual paper.

The cool tones in the prints are exactly what I was hoping for, and the blacks are incredibly deep and rich. I got a sharp, clean image with no graying in the whites using a simple split-grade filter. This paper handled the dodging and burning I needed without any issues.
